Letters Patent No. 87,688, dated March- 9, 1869.

RESERVOIR COOKING-STCVE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

:rwu whom it 'm'a/y concern Be it known that we, E. O. LITTLE, L. E. 01.0w, and D; H. NATION, of St. Louis, in the countyof St. Louis, andState of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cooking-Stove and Range; and we do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact'description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to. makeand use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, of thisspecification.

This invention relates toimprovements in cookingstoves or ranges, whereby they are made much more useful and economical'than stoves or ranges of ordiforming part nary construction; and

The invention consists in the arrangement of a waterreservoir with reference to the exit-flue and fire-box of the stove, whereby important advantages are gained,

as will be hereinafter more fully described.

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of the-stove through the line a: :tof fig. 2, showing the general conview, looking from l B is the fire-place or chamber;

0 indicates the fire-flue, which encircles the oven A;

D representsthe ash-pit; and p E is the grate in the bottom .of. the fire-place or chamber B. a

F is a water-reservoir, which is placed immediately in front of the flue O and chamber -B, and is made either portable or fixed in its place, as may be desired.

G represents the-coversof the reservoir "F, which are made to slide longitudinally each way from the middle, and to act independently of each other.

In this form they are extremely useful as a rccepta: cle for dishes in the process of cooking,

The sides of the fire-chamber B may be made of corj'rugated plates, and they are perforated .near their upper edges, .as seen at It, so as to allow of jets of air to hed-ischarged into the heated gases, above the fuel,

by which a more perfect combustion is produced than could be obtained. above a closed. fire-chamber.

The door of the ash-pit D is made with a register,

for admitting air and controlling the draught.

The back and .bottom plates of the stove may be made curved, instead of flat,-ifdesired,' for the purpose of forcing the heat to the outer sides of the flue, or V- shaped plates or strips may be arranged in the flue, to govern the current of -heat,as represented in the detailed view, fig. 3. i

By this arrangement the heat would be conveyed beneath the 'front part of the water-reservoir. J is the roasting-chamber, or oven, which is heated from the exit-flue O.

It will be seen that by opening the damper I, a direct draughtfrom the fire-chamber is produced, and that the. heat and products of combustion, instead of being allowed to pass around the oven A, may be diverted directly upward, so as to heat the roasting-oven.

The heat from the flue O is admittedinto the roastat k. i

The sides and ends of this roasting-chamber are fitted with heat-'refl 'ectors, which are made detachable side reversed, when necessary.

Providing this chamber with heat-reflectors enables us to use the heat to the best possible advantage.

' When-the damper k is closed, the chamber J may be used as a baking-oven. g g m is a removable grated partition in this chamber, the same as is-common in ordinary baking-ovens.

N is a warming-oven, which is'attached to the back,

part of p the roasting-chamber, and heat from the same flue, O.

These-chambers, or ovens which receives its J and Rare detachable ing at the point marked 0, and the stove maybe con- 'structediand used without them, when they are not required. l

P is the top of the stove, which is provided with the usualboiler and cooking-apertures, as seen in fig. 2.

The position of the water-reservoir is such that its top is'below the top of the stove, so that it is in the mostconvenient position for use at all times, either for filling or usiu g the water therefrom, and as the propass upward, directly back of its side, it absorbs all the the cooking or other operations about the stove.

Provision is made in front of the stove, beneath the reservoir, for clearing the flue, as seen at q, fig. 1.

.We claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent-, I The arrangement of the reservoir F, in front of and adjoining the exit-flue O, resting upon. its horizontal portion, and with reference to the fire-box B, as herein described, for the purpose specified.
